Northern Soul count down!

I am counting the hours until Saturday night when my sister Annika and I travel to Oxford Street in the West End to take part in a Northern Soul All-nighter. If you have never heard of the scene its no wonder as its one of the most sacred uncommercial, underground scenes currently in the UK. Northern Soul is a music and dance movement that emerged from the British mod scene, initially in northern England in the late 1960s at the now notorious Wigan Casino. The music mainly consists of a particular style of black soul music based on the heavy beat and fast tempo of the mid-1960s Tamala Motown sound. The northern soul movement, however, generally eschews Motown or Motown-influenced music that has met with significant mainstream success. Anyway, the dancing is equally important and I have been practising like a trooper where possible although the days when the spits came easily were back in Primary School, ouch! You require a slippy floor and even slippier shoes (non of which I have utilized, double ouch). I have been taking instruction from this guy below courtesy of YouTube. If you fancy it yourself this is the place to be: http://www.6ts.info/allnighters.asp Yours dancing while blogging, Kat x
